How to Make a Blog on Google Docs and Manage It with Google Sheets

Blogging has come a long way, but simplicity remains key. If you love writing in Google Docs and want to easily turn your documents into a professional blog, this guide is for you.

We’ll introduce Sheetany, a powerful tool that allows you to write blog posts in Google Docs, manage your content through Google Sheets, and automatically sync and publish it as a blog without any coding or complex setup.

Why Use Google Docs and Google Sheets for Blogging?
Google Docs is one of the most user-friendly and accessible tools for writing and collaboration. However, it doesn’t have built-in features for managing or publishing blog posts. That’s where Sheetany steps in, combining the best of Google’s collaborative tools to help you:

  • Write blog posts directly in Google Docs – offering a simple, distraction-free interface.

  • Manage your blog posts in Google Sheets – easily track titles, statuses, categories, and more.

  • Automatically sync and publish – with just a few clicks, your Google Docs content turns into a polished blog on your website.

Step 1: Write Your Blog Post in Google Docs
Start by opening Google Docs and writing your blog post as you normally would. Focus on creating engaging content without worrying about technical details like website design or formatting.

While writing:

  • Use headings (H1, H2, etc.) for a structured post.

  • Insert images, links, and lists to make the post more engaging.

  • Format your text (bold, italic, etc.) just like you would for a typical blog post.

Once you’re happy with the content, save your Google Doc as usual.

Step 2: Manage Your Blog in Google Sheets
Sheetany connects your blog posts with a central Google Sheet, where you can manage and organize all your blog content. After signing up for Sheetany, you’ll get access to a custom sheet where you can:

  • Add new posts: Enter the post title, Google Docs link, category, and any metadata you need.

  • Track status: Update the post’s status (e.g., Draft, Published) and easily modify it as needed.

  • Organize posts: Manage posts by category, tag, or even publish date, keeping everything in one place.

  • This sheet becomes your central content management system (CMS), giving you an overview of all your blog content at a glance.

Step 3: Sync and Publish with Sheetany
Once your post is written and added to the Google Sheet, Sheetany takes care of the rest. The platform automatically syncs your Google Docs content with your blog and formats it professionally.

Steps to sync:

  • Connect Sheetany: Integrate your Google account with Sheetany to access both Google Docs and Google Sheets.

  • Select the document: Choose the blog post you want to publish from the Google Sheet.

  • Automatic formatting: Sheetany will format your post to ensure it looks clean and professional without requiring any HTML or CSS knowledge.
    Publish: With one click, your post goes live on your blog.
